My xmas present to myself. Upgraded the commuter :)
What I do is every few days I open up youtube and watch some motorbike crash vids. Majority of accidents are from the motorcyclists being idiots, usually from riding far too fast for the situation. ...
I've insured all 3 of my bikes only on a learners license. No problems at all with that.
You will get slightly worse rates than if you had a full license, but you can still get the insurance.
...
(makes note to hide the b-king from Gautengers) :P
I had no idea what a stupidly fun bike it is. Got very lucky finding it. Found it a bike shop, then had to wait about a month until I got time to...
Lol
Yip, 2008 B-King. It's feels easier to ride thru traffic than the Tracer. Feels narrower as well. As for sensible... it's sensible to have a bike that isn't under-powered, for that 'getting...
I've had both the 07 and the 09. Upgraded from the MT-07 to the MT-09 Tracer.
Got the tracer because I wanted something a bit more comfortable and something more suited for longer distance than the...
Second breakfast at Calabash Bush Pub?
My bike seat is not made for long distance ;)
And just remembered I'm off up the coast that weekend, so will have to miss another run.
Makes note to avoid Blue Peters between 19 and 22 March
;)
Best spot in Cape Town for beer, pizza and some eye-candy
I'd offer a lift as well, but I don't have full license yet so no pillions, and traffic at that time for the car will be...slow
Well I can recommend the 07 then ;)
Just do yourself the favour and get a exhaust for it.
Because this is what it sounds like stock: ...
And to add: I'm concidering upgading to the MT-09 Tracer. All the fun of the 09, but with better traction control, smoother throttle, bigger tank and built-in wind protection.
Had my MT-07 for about 6 months now. Loving it.
I had a look at both the 07 and the 09 and decided on the 07 as it's the 'softer' option. I'm a returning rider after a 20 year gap, so easier and...
Forgot to add, don't worry about power on the 07. The engine has torque for days. I'm not a lightie, and it pulls me around just fine.
I had your same choice, eventually went with the 07 just because it's the easier bike to ride of the 2. I would suggest you simply ride both. The 09 has more power and torque but is also more of a...
I've had everything for about 2 weeks now, was just missing the actual bike.
Still waiting on insurance company..... ffs move faster ;)

Only 6 blocks from dealership back to office.
Now waiting for insurance to say I'm covered before taking it out from a proper ride.
New bike to be:
Yamaha MT-07
I spent about a month running around in circles. Start with something sensible then it's only a little bit more for this bike, but then it's only a little bit more...
Morning peeps,
So it's six months to the big 'four oh' and I believe its a law or something that I get a bike :)
It's been a decade or two since I've regularly ridden a bike but after a month on...
